Also, drop -f and -F for batch mode: these should be reserved for
options that are more commonly used.
It also appends a newline to the argvs file and skips adding the
source directory to the command line.
send 64-bit ino_t and dev_t. We also need to try to use 64-bit
ino_t internally *even if* this platform does not have 64-bit
inums itself, because we need to find duplicate inums when
coming from a larger platform with --hardlinks.
problems with initialization.
Change the algorithm from trying to open an inbound socket with
getaddrinfo: keep trying suggested addresses until we find one on
which we can both get a socket and bind. Not convinced this is the
best, but it's probably better.
initalize the global_opts.af_hint to AF_INET or systems such as Linux that
have a native getaddrinfo() because they support IPv6 will attempt to
create IPv6 sockets. This brings up a problem with the new global_opts
structure; in order to initialize them to a value other than 0, we need to
explicitly initialize them all in an order that matches the order in
rsync.h. I think that's more inconvenient & error prone than keeping
global variables.
or literal IP addresses to rsync, and if your platform supports them
they will be used. Also there are -4 and -6 command-line options to
choose the default address type. Thankyou!
Include more details in --version output: say whether symlinks and
hardlinks are supported.
When hardlink support is missing, explain whether the problem is on
the client or server.
When a bad option is encountered, don't just print it to stderr but
send it to the rsync log mechanism. (However, server errors currently
seem to get lost in transit because of bugs in logging.)
only for symlinks that point outside the source tree. Suggested by Charles
Hines <chuck_hines@VNET.IBM.COM> in PR#1376. Also apply the option to any
symbolic links in the source portion of a path when --relative is used,
as suggested by Francis Montagnac <Francis.Montagnac@sophia.inria.fr> on
the rsync mailing list in a message titled "New option: --copy-parent-links".
multiple SRCs. Also moved the --suffix option to show up right after
--backup and included the default backup suffix and block size along with
their corresponding options rather than at the end. Copied the new help
message to rsync.yo and README and used the Usage also in the SYNOPSIS
section at the top of rsync.yo rather than the different one that used
"path" instead of SRC and DEST. That last change was inspired by a
suggestion from Michael Bleyer in PR #1523.
